In The Bleak Midwinter

<p>In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone Snow on snow had fallen, snow on snow on snow In the bleak midwinter, long and long ago</p><p>Angels and archangels may have gathered here Cherubim and seraphim rising in the air But a princess only, in her maiden bliss Worshiped her beloved with a heartfelt kiss</p><p>Heaven cannot hold me, nor can earth sustain Heaven and earth shall fall away when I come to reign! (Can you save this heart of ice?)</p><p>But what can I give you, empty as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb If I were a wise man, I would do my part Yet what can I give you: I must give my heart.</p>
